Keeping It Israel
Has Israel Been Connected to Iran for 3000 Years? And Who is a Voice for Oppressed Iranians Today?
In this fascinating interview, Jeff talks to Hooman Khalil about his escape from the Iranian Islamist regime as a child and his powerful voice on behalf of the women who are currently being oppressed, tortured and killed in Iran just for showing their hair and standing up for their rights. Through Hooman's powerful, biblical murals displayed all over Israel, Hooman draws the world's attention to the ignored human rights abuses occurring in Iran today and highlights the incredible 3000-year-old bond Iranians have with the Jewish people. Please help Hooman get his amazing murals all over America's University campuses!
